“This year’s award season, which leads up to the Oscars, just took a confusing turn,” the man on the TV said with a smile. “The Golden Globes, which open the season, were heavily skewed in favor of the biggest movie of the year, . With the exception of two acting awards in the Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor categories, the movie won every award it had been nominated for. The same trend followed at the Critics' Choice Awards, where, once again, the last Harry Potter movie swept the awards,…- 1.0 M • Ongoing

Channing Tatum, or as he liked to be called, Chan, looked at the set he was visiting for a very important meeting, probably the most important of his career so far. He had always thought his acting career would be over as soon as news about his past got out, but somehow he had persevered, thanks to small indie films. As time passed, though, studios were giving him fewer and fewer blockbuster roles, mostly because they didn’t want to risk casting an ex-stripper in a film costing upward of $100…- 1.0 M • Ongoing

“It’s called impostor syndrome,” Scarlett said in a soft voice. “It’s the most common psychological problem actors have to face. And this is especially true for actors who are good at their jobs. People praise us so much that we start doubting their words.” “I’m not a psycho,” I retorted. “I don’t have any issues.” Scarlett gave me an unimpressed look but didn’t argue. Her fixed stare was enough to make me avert my gaze. “Have you ever faced this impostor syndrome?” I…- 1.0 M • Ongoing

Christopher Nolan looked at the man who had made the movie possible, Troy Armitage, who was getting ready for today's shoot. For a brief time, had been as good as scrapped. "If Troy doesn't appear in the sequel, people won't watch the movie," Jonathan Nolan, Christopher's brother and co-writer of the screenplay, had said seriously. "The film made as much money as it did because of the surprise reveal at the end about his identity. And he was the soul of the movie. If he's not coming back, we may as…- 1.0 M • Ongoing

One moment I was lifting Emily into the air, the next she was trying to attack me with everything she had. “Put me down!” she cried, panic sharp in her voice. Her hands turned into frantic, metaphorical claws, swiping wildly and coming within an inch of scratching my face clean off. So, of course, I put her down. The instant her feet touched the ground, she curled in on herself like she was trying to disappear, then bolted off the set without a word. She didn’t even pause to explain what had…- 1.0 M • Ongoing

May 2010, Los Angeles, CA, USA I held the phone close to my ear as the man on the other side explained how things stood. “We’ve finished pre-production on , and we’ll begin shooting next week,” Tobias said, his tone almost clinical. “Lily Collins has been cast in the lead role, opposite Henry Cavill as the prince, with Charlize Theron playing the evil stepmother. We’ve even cast seven real life dwarf actors as the dwarves. Once filming begins, , , , and will follow shortly after, in that…- 1.0 M • Ongoing

After that first win, the show fell into a rhythm of sorts. One by one, more TV and movie categories were awarded in quick succession, sprinkled with Ricky Gervais’ brand of humor in between. Most nominees were there just to drink and have a good time. Most people didn’t really seem to care about winning or losing. Then came the first category I was nominated for. Ryan Gosling and Chris Evans walked up on stage together, holding two envelopes in their hands. “Hey, Chris,” Ryan greeted the…- 1.0 M • Ongoing

The movie opened with the characters played by Steve Carell and Julianne Moore on a dinner date together. Steve's character asked his wife what she wanted for dessert, and she responded with something completely unexpected. “I want a divorce.” What seemed like a happy couple suddenly found their marriage falling apart. The strange part was that Cal, Steve's character, never even tried to convince her not to go through with it. He agreed almost immediately. He didn't even ask for a…- 1.0 M • Ongoing

“Thank you for joining us, Troy,” Christopher Nolan greeted the biggest superstar in their cast genially. “Come on, take a seat, and we can start discussing the movie.” I took the offered seat and smiled at everyone already gathered around the table. Christian Bale, who was sitting beside me, clasped my hand as if we were old friends. Other than him, there were Gary Oldman, Michael Caine, and Morgan Freeman, all reprising their roles from the last movie. But there were some new additions as…- 1.0 M • Ongoing
